SINKHOLE REPAIR

Sinkholes are a depression or hole formed in the ground once soluble rocks like limestone, gypsum or dolomite are dissolved. The area forms a depression that is then called a sinkhole. Sinkholes can range in size from a foot deep to 100 feet deep, and they can be several feet wide to much larger width spans.

WHY DO SINKHOLES FORM?

Sinkholes form when soft rocky areas comprised of limestone, gypsum or dolomite dissolve from being exposed to water. Underground water that does not have proper drainage outlets, or huge infusions of excess rainwater that can’t properly run off can cause soft rocky terrain to dissolve, resulting in sinkholes. Most of the time, sinkholes will take years to form, but some types of sinkholes can seem as if they are a sudden, unexpected event. If sinkholes happen on private property, they become the concern of the property owner. Sometimes they create a need for professional sink hole repair.

SINKHOLE REPAIR METHODS

Methods of sinkhole repair will vary according to the size of the hole and the stability of the ground surrounding it. Smaller holes are effectively repaired by filling the hole in using a mix of sandy gravel and topsoil. Larger sinkholes may require the placement of a cement plug at the bottom of the hole, then subsequent filling using clay sand or gravel, and then filling and topping with a layer of topsoil. In cases of very large sinkholes or areas with accompanying structural damage to buildings, the repair methods become more complicated and more costly, depending on what needs to be done.

Sinkhole repair process

In cases of small sinkholes, basic filling will usually be sufficient to repair the hole. With larger sinkholes, or with holes that happen closer to buildings, you may need the services of professional structural engineers to determine the best methods of repair. The basic sinkhole must be filled in, and any damages to buildings or foliage must be addressed for a comprehensive solution.

Filling in larger holes requires the expertise of specialists and shouldn’t be attempted by property owners. The sides and bottom of the hole must be checked for stability and to be sure they’re sturdy before any filling in occurs. Larger holes are filled in by removing debris like leaves and twigs. Then, a cement plug is created, followed by filling in with sandy clay and gravel. A layer of topsoil can be placed on top once you’re sure the problem has been completely addressed.

Micah Johnston

I called a lot of companies to take a look at my water issues in my basement. APD was the only one who provided a solution that sounds like it was going to fix the problem, not just selling on something. Danny was great in walking me through the entire process, and providing a quick quote. When the crew arrived, they were professional and very friendly. They walked us through the process at each step so we knew exactly when they were coming and going as well as what they were working on that day. Once complete, they even took the time to re-compact the soil (multiple times) so it looked nice and was sloped correctly from the house. During the work they had to remove a part of the fence. During the removal the fence was damaged slightly. Rather than trying to fix it and not tell me. They went out and got a new post and replaced it the correct way, keeping us informed of the entire process.I will have to wait till next hurricane season to see if the work done will seal the basement from water but from what I experienced, I have no doubt that I chose the correct company to fix my issue. I would highly recommend APD for any foundation repair and waterproofing.

Gerald Brandt

Crew was excellent and informative, very happy with the results.

Mike Fonzi

We were very happy with APD, from the estimate right through completion of the work. Leanne did a great job communicating with us through the whole process and even did a follow up call a week after the project was complete. The guys did an awesome job and really took their time to do a great clean up after they were done. We highly recommend APD!

Great company to deal with to shore up our sinking concrete. Workers were very polite, friendly, and knowledgeable. They did a great job of explaining what they were going to do. Also there work is fully guaranteed. If I have problems later n they will return and fix whatever went wrong. They gave me confidence that my problem is corrected.
